In this study, the cytological findings of the borderline lesions of the uterine cervix were observed Cellular specim ens taken from 4 cases of norma cervix, 5 cases of chronic inflammation, 5 cases of dysplasia, 5 cases of carcinoma in-situ, and 6 cases of carcinoma epidermoid, which cases were proved histologically, were examined.
These specimens were obtained by means of cotton swab from portio vaginalis and fixed in ether and 95 per cent ethyl alcohol solution and stained by the Papanicolaou method.
All squamous cells on the smear were observed on the cell diameter, cy toplasmic staining reaction, nuclear border findings, nuclear cytoplasmic ratio and chromatin pattern.
Results, 1) Different cellular combination were showed on each preparation from normal cervix, chronic inflammation, dysplasia, carcinoma in-situ and carcinoma epidermoid.
2) The smear in cases of carcinoma showed various chromatin types such as“finely reticular or glan ular, ” “grossly reticular”, “coasely glanular” and “opaque”.
3) As a result of observation on the physiological maturation and serious experimental observation on normal squamous cells, chromatin type such as “grossly reticular” and “coasely glanular” and “opaque” may be due to degeneration.
Cancerous tissue may be composed of various cells which have numerous chromatin figures in maturation and serious degeneration.
